People of the Peyote
The first substantial study of a Mexican Indian society that more than any other has preserved much of its ancient way of life and religion.
Huichol Women, Weavers, and Shamans
"A beautiful ethnographic work. Schaefer deftly relates mythology, cosmology, family life, and economics within the spiritual practice and mechanics of weaving. There is clearly a preservation ethos underlying Schaefer's work, yet her depiction is not mournful, it is celebratory."--Ethnohistory
Vivir una vida a medias
Como una suerte de desafío a la antropología clásica, la presente investigación muestra que las perspectivas intimistas pueden contribuir al entendimiento de los fenómenos sociales. El punto de partida es la historia personal de la autora y el método empleado implica el reconocimiento de un problema compartido con la alteridad que se propone abordar.

The Huichol (Wixarika) people claim a vast expanse of Mexico’s western Sierra Madre and northern highlands as a territory called kiekari, which includes parts of the states of Nayarit, Jalisco, Durango, Zacatecas, and San Luis Potosí. This territory forms the heart of their economic and spiritual lives. But indigenous land struggle is a central fact of Mexican history, and in this fascinating new work Paul Liffman expands our understanding of it. Drawing on contemporary anthropological theory, he explains how Huichols assert their sovereign rights to collectively own the 1,500 square miles they inhabit and to practice rituals across the 35,000 square miles where their access is challenged...
